In the next step, set out an affirmation that is phrased in the positive and which will be said at least three times while tapping on the karate chop point. The karate chop point is located on the pinky side of your hand and is exactly where you would hit if you did a karate chop. You can actually tap on this point in any way you’d like. You’re affirmation may be “even though I am afraid of the grocery store, I deeply and profoundly accept myself.”
Now begins the meat of the tapping. Saying the reminder phrase, “I am afraid of the grocery store”, you perform at least 2 passes through all 10 points. You say the reminder phrase while quickly tapping on each point at least three taps per point. Say the phrase at least once per point.
Now it’s time to reassess your intensity level. If the tapping is working the pain level should come down between one and three points per session. The objective is to bring the pain level or intensity level down to one or zero.
The tapping points are based mostly on the head and upper torso. The first place is the top of the head which you can tap with most of your fingers in order to be able to hit the exact spot. The second place is on the highbrow directly over the inner point of the eye where tears are released. The next point is directly on the outer area of the eye, directly underneath the eye, directly underneath the nose, on the chin, on either side of the collarbone where a man’s tie might rest and underneath the arm.
Each of these areas, except for the top of the head, should be tapped with the first finger and the second finger very lightly in order not to cause pain or discomfort but strong enough in order to be felt.
